You can never ever go wrong with wheat!
I have it on my cover of God's Loyal Love: A Nine Week Study in Ruth for Teen Girls.

My alternate cover would definitely include feathers. 🪶🪶

Psalm 91:4 has become a favorite and I love how the Lord loves us tenderly and protectively by taking us under His wing. It is actually a suggested memory verse because of the idea of covering with the kinsman-redeemer.

The very visual of hesed-God's loyal love-is that of a mother bird persevering through trials to shield her baby birds.

We talk about all of this and more in God's Loyal Love🩵🧡🩵

Download it at no cost while you can!

Teens will explore Ruth verse by verse, the meaning of hesed, and how Jesus fulfills the role of kinsman-redeemer🧡🩵🧡

Then, head over to michellespano.com/ruth-study/ for the free resources that go along with it.

If you have had a chance to look through, I'd appreciate if you left a review to help others decide and help spread the word of God's Loyal love.

Bonus from one of my mentors:

Don't forget to pray and ask God to fill in the gaps. He's our Father and when we pray for Him to fill in the gaps we acknowledge to Him and ourselves that we don't know it all.

Another question I get asked is should/can I do this with my daughter? And the answer is absolutely! A few mom and daughter teams have gone through it together.

Some will choose to do each day together. Others will do it independently and come together at the end of each week to discuss it together.

Whether you are a parent or a ministry leader, there are also free resources on my website you can download to help guide your discussion groups. 🩵

Time to hit the sauna bag and grab a massage!

Thank you to all who made my first event wonderful. I was so encouraged with friends and family who said hello and shared they were praying for me.

And thank you to new friends who took the time to share their day with me.

After some recovery time I'm looking forward to getting the teachings recorded and the launch of the paper copy of God's Loyal Love on July 29th!

The Arizona Families for Home Education annual convention is in full swing!

Usually I'm bustling from session to session and that's a lot of fun. This year I get the privilege of hanging in booth 1405 and meeting new people.

I never thought I'd be here in this capacity and am thankful I am! I've got a batch of pre-released paper copies of God's Loyal Love that are avaliable before they can be ordered on July 29th.

Come visit if you're here too!

Two summers ago I was prepping a study in Ruth for

Two summers ago I was prepping a study in Ruth for a group of high school girls to go through in a discipleship program. That study became God’s Loyal Love: A Nine Week Study in Ruth for Teen Girls and is now available as an eBook today! The link is in my bio and my stories.

In God’s Loyal Love, there are two goals I hope are accomplished.

1) I pray that those who go through the study leave with solid study skills so that they can continue to study God’s Word and delight in His truths.
2) I pray that they are transformed by His hesed - His loyal love - and because of understanding His love, can love others well too.

If you find that God’s Loyal Love is a great fit for a teen you know, I’d be so grateful if you’d leave a review on Amazon–it will help more parents and ministry leaders find a tool to help the teens in their life to engage in God’s Word.

📚Are you a give-me-the-physical-book type reader? The paper copy will be available July 29th!

Grab the eBook today using the link in my bio and stories! To Him be the glory🩵🧡🩵

A messy living room with summer forts are pretty much on-point when it comes to summer break right?!

The Arizona Families for Home Education convention is almost here!

I'm looking forward to meeting families and sharing an early debut of God's Loyal Love: A Nine Week Study in Ruth for Teen Girls.

Books will be ready to order July 29th, and AFHE convention attendees have the opportunity to purchase them in-person this weekend.

Launch day is fast approaching!

My sweet friend, Abby, offered to minister to me by taking pictures of my soon to be released book. Her skill far surpasses mine and I'm thankful that she chose to share it with me and I get to share it with you!

Tomorrow I meet with my publisher to discuss the upcoming launch of God's Loyal Love: A Nine Week Study in Ruth that will be available at any book retailer at the end of July.

I'm grateful for the relationships I've made as I've moved forward in this process🩵🩵

Definitely woke up after that!

I would go again though.

I'm grateful to @legacyfamilyministries for their annual family camps where we not only make memories with our kids, but leave feeling motivated to persevere and enjoy the parenting and discipleship ride🩵🧡🩵

What's the craziest thing you've done with your kids?

A few verses I’m meditating on right now are Psa

A few verses I’m meditating on right now are Psalm 92:1-2 and 4. They say:

1. It is good to give thanks to the Lord
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
2. To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by night,
4. For You, O Lord, have made me glad by what You have done,
I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

When I read this I’m reminded about how good it is to start the day with acknowledging the Lord and end the day in the same way.

I can give thanks to the Lord for a new day and ask that I abide in Him throughout the circumstances that come my way. I can also sing His praises at night because He has been faithful. Maybe things haven’t gone how I hoped, but I know He is still with me.

He is worthy of praise.

What Scripture are you meditating on right now?

In the midst of my time and schedule assessment I

In the midst of my time and schedule assessment I received some good heart checks.

💙 Am I focused on control or honest assessment?
💙 Am I relying on the Lord to be my refreshment or falling into temporary coping mechanisms?
💙 Am I falling into the trap of thinking my schedule has to be free from any stress whatsoever in order to be at rest and peace?

I'm so grateful the Lord brings along timely reminders and messages. He is faithful and really does give us wisdom when we ask Him (James 1:5).

Thank you @lori_schumaker for allowing yourself to be used by the Lord to speak encouragement into others lives💗

What is something you're learning from Him right now?

Got to love those root words!

It does make so much sense though. If they are priorities then I should be focusing on getting to those first. Yet, I often am willing to put those important activities to the side because it seems something more pressing or easier presents itself.

How do you keep your priorities in the forefront of your mind and schedule?

As a mom juggling all the things too, I can assure

As a mom juggling all the things too, I can assure you that a time audit was just what I needed to understand exactly where my time has been going. Now that I know where my time is going, I can pray about what my priorities are and how to schedule them. I can intentionally let go of some things that aren’t bad, but aren’t what I should be focusing on right now.

The pictures in my post are all of my brain dump on a scratch piece of paper, but I’ve made a much more organized audit sheet that you can use for yourself. Comment “audit” and it will go straight to your DMs.

Why all this talk about time anyway? How we spend our time is part of stewardship and worship. Let's do it well!

In 2021, I sought to find a way to teach my kids how to read the Bible verse by verse and go through the three main phases of inductive Bible study. I wanted it to be a conversational tool and something we could easily incorporate in our morning routine.

It is now known as the EVENT Method.

What started out as a way to disciple my kids, grew into a Bible study used with the high school girls at my church, now is here in my hands, and soon will go out to others. It’s my prayer that this study is used as a stepping stone to biblical literacy and then transformation for the next generation as they engage with Scripture.

I’m in awe of the way God works and how He has given us His Word to not only be our defense, but our delight.

Thanks for being here to celebrate with me!

First step is awareness, right?!

As it became more and more clear I needed to reassess my schedule, a few reminders made their way to me and the message was loud and clear: I need to be careful with my time.

This is not a new lesson for me, it's just hitting different now that two out of three of my kids are in the tween and teen stage.

I'll share a few tips I've been reminded of and have learned, but I'd love to hear what's working for you!

How do you manage and/or protect your schedule? How do you steward your time well?
